Ok, back to the OP. Any manufacturer makes units that can be used for full timing. It's less about the brand and more about how you live in it. Floorplan, floorplan, floorplan. Just about every manufacturer also makes some iteration of the same floorplans. This is critical. Pick one you love and find the unit you like best with that floorplan. When looking at units, really spend a lot of time and visualize yourself living in it. Go through the motions of daily routine. Is the seating good for the TV, can you walk around the bed, is the kitchen conducive to cooking full time, do the slides encroach your outdoor living space, is the toilet comfortable (some leave your feet dangling), is the R value vs BTU of AC and heat a good level, dual pane windows, "good" cabinetry and finish, Stove, Refer, HW, What type of roof, etc etc. Most RVs are just that, recreational vehicles and not designed for the rigors of full time abuse. Many however are. Usually the more costly offerings with better finish and equipment. For the full timer this is no different than shopping for a home. Take your time, go to shows, get in and out of as many RV's as you can. ANd spend a lot of time on the critical details. For the casual RVer it's easy to overlook something that they can "live with". You can't because you will be living with it.
